2023-10-28 20:38:16 +0000 UTC"The Wrestler" and" Sandlot" for me. For some reason though, Sandlot keeps getting mixed up in my mind with Stephen King's "Stand By Me".

Aaron Barlow
2023-10-25 22:23:46 +0000 UTC@Sam Yeah, it's relatively unknown unfortunately but a fantastic family film with a beautiful score from James Horner. It centres around a chess prodigy but one doesn't need to be a chess player to relate to it.

2023-10-25 22:23:07 +0000 UTC@Paul Great series!

2023-10-25 02:30:46 +0000 UTCIf there' ever another military/war movie poll, I'd like to recommend "Zero Dark Thirty", and "13 Hours". ZD30 isn't the most historically accurate movie but it's really good for what it is and has a great cast. 13 Hours is very accurate, the guys who were there say as much, although IMO it's not quite as good of a movie as ZD30.

2023-10-25 01:49:34 +0000 UTC"Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings" (1977) Baseball movie starring: James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, and Richard Pryor. That's Darth Vader and Lando Calrisian playing on the same team!

2023-10-24 23:42:56 +0000 UTCI was just thinking about that one myself. what an incredible and under appreciated movie

2023-10-23 10:31:24 +0000 UTCI 2nd the Longest Yard. One of Burt Reynolds best movies
Smooticus
2023-10-23 10:30:38 +0000 UTCShaolin Soccer could be on this list, but in reality, it should already be on the watch list after the Kung Fu Hustle reaction
Mr. Chumpus
2023-10-23 07:20:19 +0000 UTCI suggest Breaking Away (1979).
Samolina Pilchard
2023-10-23 04:32:04 +0000 UTCWhat a list! In terms of "classics," you guys really need to watch "The Hustler," and its 1986 sequel, "The Color of Money." But I voted for "Million Dollar Baby," which deserves all the praise it received; "The Wrestler," which is a marvel of characterization; and "The Natural," which is simply the best baseball movie ever made. "Bull Durham" is good, but "The Natural" is based on a novel by a great American author, Bernard Malamud, and is the most exciting and romantic movie on the list. I also think you should see "Hoosiers," which may be the single best sports movie ever. This list gives me chills: there's not a dog or a loser on it!

2023-10-23 00:54:26 +0000 UTCthe good news for you is they have a reaction to Major League on the channel already. Great movie!!

2023-10-22 21:55:20 +0000 UTCFor future suggestions :- 1975 Rollerball (Sci-Fi/Sport) & 1974 The Longest Yard (Drama/Sport).

John Frilando
2023-10-22 20:17:17 +0000 UTCSpeaking of that, The Queen's Gambit would be a great choice of short TV series for them to react to.
Paul Cox
2023-10-22 19:11:24 +0000 UTCPlease add The Fighter to future polls.

2023-10-22 16:56:17 +0000 UTCHow is THE NATURAL not way up there? That's a must MFin' see!

2023-10-22 15:40:01 +0000 UTC"Hoosiers" (1986) has some beautiful November/December cinematography.

2023-10-22 13:05:40 +0000 UTCI think they have a reaction to Miracle.

2023-10-22 13:01:20 +0000 UTCJerry Maguire and Rudy are my faves on the list.

Odd Thomas
2023-10-22 09:02:36 +0000 UTCI think 'Searching for Bobby Fischer' is a great sports movie missing from this. Chess is kind of a sport.
Aaron Barlow
2023-10-22 08:40:19 +0000 UTCSecoded for The Wrestler, also from someone who is completely uninterested in WWE wrestling. Mickey Rourke is one of my all time favs.
Alec S
2023-10-22 08:14:39 +0000 UTCAgain, a lot of great movies in this poll, but if you want to see an amazing human story, The Wrestler is exceptional, and this is coming from someone who detests wrestling in general. Mickey Rourke, despite whoever he is outside of acting, brought it SO HARD for this film. It is dark, grimy, and 110% believable. I dunno, I just freaking loved it, and I know you would too. Million Dollar Baby.... admittedly absolutely amazing as well. If Sandlot wins, that's great, because it is a super cute movie, but when you want your heart in real, human drama, The Wrestler and Million Dollar Baby is where it's at.
Eric J Watkins
2023-10-22 08:06:51 +0000 UTCThrowing out a suggestion for ya ... Whip It (2009) directed by Drew Barrymore. It's a fun chill roller derby flick .
john francis
2023-10-22 07:21:24 +0000 UTCIβd say The Sandlot is much more coming-of-age than sports, although that also plays a big part. So maybe do the runner-up as well if itβs close? Personally, Iβd love to see White Men Canβt Jump since the NBA season is right around the corner! Edit: Forget what I said about doing the runner-up. MDB is 2nd, thatβs one of those, βHow did this win best picture?β ones
Shehab Dawoud
2023-10-22 07:20:19 +0000 UTCGreat list. I went with Rudy because if neither of you have seen it, its one of the classics that is referenced a lot. Next time, I'd suggest Hoosiers, with Gene Hackman, which is my favorite sports movie.
David Anderson
2023-10-22 07:03:13 +0000 UTCthe sandlot!
Walter White
2023-10-22 05:54:03 +0000 UTCThese are all great choices. I'm torn between "The Sandlot" and "White Men Can't Jump". Both are great films!
EdmanXERO
2023-10-22 05:37:09 +0000 UTCIt's sort of futile to suggest it because I'm sure it will never win a poll, but one of my favorite boxing movies is the 2000 Karyn Kusama film Girlfight, which was Michelle Rodriguez's first movie.
Tyler Foster
2023-10-22 05:33:42 +0000 UTCWarrior or Rudy!
David Crabtree
2023-10-22 05:23:56 +0000 UTCBull Durham is my least favorite of Costner's baseball trilogy. My favorite is actually For Love of the Game, but that's as much a romance as it is a sports movie, so it often slides down people's rankings because dudes aren't allowed to like love stories or something.
Paul Cox
2023-10-22 05:16:41 +0000 UTCIt won't win, but I voted for The Natural. Robert Redford is effortlessly charming.
Athos Count de la Fère
2023-10-22 05:16:14 +0000 UTCI went with Million Dollar Baby.
Tim Raths
2023-10-22 05:14:45 +0000 UTCSome fantastic movies here but as I've suggested it many a time gotta go with the hustler as I want you to both watch the color of money so bad π€
Ian
2023-10-22 05:12:48 +0000 UTCSo many bangers on this list. I hope Bull Durham wins.
